Beginners Tea
2nd Tuesday
7:00 pm – 7:45 pm
In-person
Once a month, the Drop-In is followed by a social Tea from 7:00-7:45pm. Stay to connect with fellow practitioners, teachers, and staff. This is a relaxed and welcoming environment, an excellent opportunity to chat casually with fellow practitioners or ask questions about CIMC. Tea and Snacks provided.
You do not need to attend the Drop-In to join the social Tea afterward.
